Tony,

Yes, you're right about using the /w7 /w7
 display 1b21 /w8; echo WINDOW EIGHT >/w8
 display 1b21 /w8&

Notes:
 1. After you Select another window, you have to make it your std input in
order to cause another Select to take.
 2. You can't have a program waiting on input from the Window you're Selecting
or DeSelecting. Unless you want to wait your turn at input of course... and
that's one reason your script might hang. So start programs last.
 3. Your descriptors had better have been Wmode'd (WMODE.AR Lib 10) to default
as separate windows, or you'll hang. Term, W1, W4 and W7 come that way stock.
Or use wcreate or DWSET (1b20 etc etc) to set the window type on the fly).

Keep asking until things get clearer. Glad to help if possible! - kev
